The administration of glycerin depends on its form and intended use:
Suppositories: These should be inserted rectally, following the manufacturer's instructions. Nurses should ensure patient comfort and provide guidance on the proper insertion technique. Topical Applications: Glycerin-containing creams or lotions should be applied to clean, dry skin. Nurses should advise patients to follow the recommended frequency of application to avoid potential skin irritation. Oral Solutions: When used as a moisturizing agent in oral solutions, nurses should instruct patients on the correct dosage and administration method.
